View allI'm dealing with a really bad throat infection and can barely talk because of it. The cough just won't go away, and I've got this annoying throat pain popping up occasionally. It's been like this for the last few days. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should do to feel better?

I've had chronic sinusitis and had DNS surgery twice, but I still get heavy pressure around my forehead and eyebrows, especially on the left side. Right now, I'm taking levocetrizine hydrochloride 5mg and ambroxol HCl 60mg, which helped a bit with the dullness. Can I increase the dose to twice a day? I'm worried about side effects because last time I tried that, it caused sinus congestion and discharge. What do you suggest?

I've been having this pain right on the side of my Adam's apple, and it's pretty tender when I press on it from the outside. It really hurts when I swallow, but it's not like a regular sore throat 'cause it doesn't hurt at the back of my throat. It's more at the front, and if I tense up like before sneezing or when yawning, it hurts even more. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
You may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in the area around your Adam's apple. This could be due to a condition called thyroiditis. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can try using a warm compress on the area to help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
